Discovery Childcare Ltd

Here at Discovery Childcare Ltd, we make it our top priority to gain as much information about a child before they start the setting to ensure all their individual needs are met. We aim to work in partnership with parents where a child has a medical need or disability. We have an onsite Special Educational needs Co-ordinator (SENCO), this allocated person has had access to training and courses to further develop their skills and knowledge.

We have a well-established Key Person system in place, each member of staff have a group of children that they observe and plan for to help them progress in their development as well as possible throughout their time at nursery.

Children’s progress is regularly tracked and monitored and reviewed with parents every term and more regularly if needed.

If a member of staff feels they have a concern regarding a child’s development, they will inform and share their concerns with the setting SENCO who will then arrange a meeting with the child’s parents/carers to discuss the concerns further. The SENCO alongside the parents will complete an Early help assessment, following this the child’s key person will put a SEN support Plan in place to support the child with their development. We will occasionally use an early year’s developmental journal which breaks down the EYFS ages and stages and helps the child to achieve more appropriate and manageable next steps.

Practitioners will work closely with professionals such as children’s services, speech and language therapists (SALT) Occupational therapists (OT) Health visitors etc. we will hold and attend team around the family meetings (TAF) with the child’s parents to discuss progress and set achievable goals.

Staff receive quality in house and professional training.

Information leaflets and details should accompany any medication brought on to the premises

An individual medical consent form will be completed by the parents for each individual medication, this must contain instructions as to dosage and administration times also the reason for administration, and this will then be signed by a member of staff who receives the medication and the parent. Two members of staff must be present when administering any medication, one will counter sign the form as a witness.

Any children with ongoing medical conditions must have a care plan in place.

This must detail:

Childs details including medical condition.

Emergency contacts (parents / GP)

Medication and storage details

Signs and symptoms to look out for.

Dosages to be given.

Emergency procedure to follow.

The nursery has its own private parking spaces for parents and staff.

Parents and carers are able to access the nursery by ringing the doorbell. A member of staff will then greet parents at the door and allow them into the nursery. We encourage parents to pass on any relevant information regarding their child. The setting is on one level with 3 rooms for different age groups, babies, toddlers and preschool.
